A Tennessee man who filmed thousands of upskirts with a camera hidden in his shoe will serve 45 days for his crimes.

William Wright, 55, pleaded guilty Monday to nine misdemeanor and one felony charge involving Florida women videotaped with his shoe cam.

The felony count came to light after an incident in which Mr Wright was accused of filming a 5-year-old girl in a toilet.

Guilty Shoe Cam Upskirts

Mr Wright was arrested at a St.Petersburg supermarket in November of 2009 as he used the shoe cam to film a woman in the checkout queue.

Investigators said he filmed at various locations in Tampa and St.Petersburg, including Walmart, Home Depot, Sears, Target and Staples.

The child victim was recorded by a camera Mr Wright planted in a women’s toilet where he used to work in St. Petersburg.

Police later found 200 video files on Mr Wright’s home computer that contained images of about 2,300 women.

Assistant State Attorney Mark McGarry said Mr Wright’s plea agreement will save the women from testifying in court.

As a part of his plea agreement, Mr Wright will not be allowed to buy video equipment or pornography, and will be barred from using the internet.

He was also fined $601 and ordered not to have contact with his victims.
